Wet Tech - Hatfield & McCoy

Core Responsibilities: Aquatic Stage Operations: Managing the mechanical lifts, traps, and moving stage elements that transition the floor from a solid stage to an open diving pool during the show. Deck Safety & Cueing: Ensuring the splash zones and diving platforms are clear of debris, managing props used in water sequences, and verifying visual safety cues for the divers and high-diving performers. Water Effects Maintenance: Operating and troubleshooting specialized water systems, including underwater lighting, pumps, splash-back drains, and pool filtration systems. Pre/Post-Show Maintenance: Performing daily checks on mechanical deck seals, water levels, and emergency underwater safety equipment.

Typical Qualifications: Experience: 1+ years in live theater tech, stage crew, or theme park stunt show operations. Aquatic Familiarity: Comfort working directly over and around deep water. Standard scuba certification or basic lifeguard safety knowledge is a massive plus, though companies often provide on-the-job training.

Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50+ lbs, climb tall scaffolding or diving platforms, and work dynamically in a humid, high-energy environment. PADI certification is required.
